Tenacious D Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think Sammons, Lockhart and Hurter will be the starters, unless they try and stretch out Faedo or Brieske. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: The scouting reports says he has a great plate approach, despite the weak hit tool. Maybe they offset? Or the Tigers can help with the holes that he has in his swing? I'm not counting on anything here... I just think that a "wait-n-see-what-develops" approach works for me with this kid... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalTiger Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 We have to muddle through 2024 but we got better in 2026 and this off season we should spend some coin for 2025 even if its one and two year deals with slight overpay or one BIG get if there is one that fits.

casimir Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 10 minutes ago, 1984Echoes said: I could see it happening. There are lots of ways to limit a pitcher's innings, even in MLB. And if he hits 100 innings this year (don't forget AFL...); doesn't that mean 125-130 innings next year, starter's innings...? I think the decision is, simply, is he ready for MLB Opening Day 2025... or not yet? They can figure out everything else, after that... Starters innings for SP on the Opening Day roster should be 150+. I’m not saying he’ll stay in Toledo all season. Just keep him there in April, limit his innings, he can be among the first call ups if/when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The re-rebuild is going to be slow and incremental. Money will be spent on the margins within the risk parameters. All major improvement will mostly come from internal development. It's going to be awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Kikuchi is ranked higher in Eno's pitching plus rankings as of a couple weeks ago, fwiw. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5641710/2024/07/23/eno-sarris-mlb-starting-pitcher-rankings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 27 minutes ago, casimir said: Madden has been spectacularly awful in Toledo. I thought Madden had been a bit better recently... but.... I was mistaken. He had two good starts in June: 11 inn's, 6 hits, 1 run 1 BB 12 K's. Outside of those two, he has a well over 2.00 WHIP at Toledo so yes, he's been atrocious. At some point, they'll end up pushing him to middle relief like Faedo & Brieske to see if he does any better there... it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing in favor of him being on opening day roster is the potential draft pick bonus if he’d win ROY. If they think he’s ready, I think they figure out his innings in Detroit for that possibility alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ Rollercoaster Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 From the Fangraphs blog about today's deals... regarding Evan Silva: As for Detroit, the decision to trade Canha feels straightforward. They’ve fallen out of the playoff race, but they didn’t want to trade Tarik Skubal (rightfully so, in my opinion). That means the only thing left to do is send out players on expiring contracts and get whatever you can for them. Canha fits that bill, and he was never going to command a huge haul, so they took what they could and moved on. Silva is an interesting prospect, though his value is capped thanks to a switch to the bullpen last year. He needed it; a high-effort delivery means he can touch the upper 90s despite a diminutive frame, but he struggled with strike throwing in A-ball. He’s a full-time reliever in Double-A this year, and while his walk rates still aren’t pretty, he’s striking out 30% of opponents to make up for it. He has good secondary stuff and is still only 21. He might be a whiff-reliant multi-inning reliever in the majors; he was logging two-inning stints fairly often for the Giants. He’s somewhere on the 35+/40 FV borderline.
